TALKWhen: Wednesday, September 5, 2018, at 1 pmWhere: Fremont Art Association, 37697 Niles Boulevard, Fremont, CA 94536​Admission: Free and open to the public​Anna shares what she learned about the famous artist through the summer and fall of 1976 and into winter 1977, when she worked as O’Keeffe's weekend companion in her two New Mexico homes. Between Anna’s personal experience and study of the artist and her work in the years that followed, she gained a unique perspective on O’Keeffe’s life, her art practice, and lessons that all artists can take to heart. The talk will be illustrated, and there will be time for questions. If time permits, Anna will discuss the differences (and similarities) between drawing and painting and how that touches on O’Keeffe’s work.Learn more about Anna and O’Keeffe at www.annakoster.com.
